The move by the ANC to form a planning commission can only be lauded.

The move by the ANC to form a planning commission can only be lauded.

This since the millions of South Africans who voted the ANC into power in the past 15 years expect accelerated service delivery unencumbered by corruption and snail-paced development.

The ANC cannot be faulted when it comes to policy-making. What has been lacking is implementation.

Holding the politicians accountable - as the commission is expected to do - will therefore not only improve governance but also ensure that no funds remain unspent due to inefficiencies within government departments.
